I had the privilege today of viewing the royal wedding of William and Kate - here in Barbados - at the home of some good friends who happen to also be British! It was quite fun! :) So, the party started at 5:00 am at Heather's home. Everyone brought some food for breakfast. There were British flags waving and many, many gleeful shouts as this and that happened. Of course, these ladies knew all of the royal family's names, how old they were, etc. I enjoyed it all - but, I particularly enjoyed the ceremony itself. I loved all the hymns and music and the words - Jesus Christ - that I heard so often throughout the ceremony. It made me want to jump up and run home to Gary and tell him how much I loved him. It made me want to be a better wife - the way that I know my Lord Jesus Christ wants me to be. I loved the ceremony. I loved the whole thing. But, I would have to say that I would rate that kiss about a 6! :) Here is a picture of Nicole kidding around with her wedding hat - she realized that it needed to be moved to the side of her head after seeing the latest trends in London! Also, I have attached a picture of Heather's home - where she had strung up the British flag banners around her den.
Welcome
Hi, my name is Victoria Grace Avara (Vickie for short) and welcome to my blog. This blog was written while I was stationed in Barbados for 4 years from 2008-2012. I would just write things down whenever I had the time. I would write about my experiences with living in a new country and a different culture. Please forgive my grammatical errors, but enjoy these posts that I wrote during this time. My husband and I dearly love the Island of Barbados and we hope to someday retire to this little island that we called home for 4 short and wonderful years of our life. I hope that you enjoy reading this blog.
Sincerely, Vickie Avara
